EEG Based BCI for Upper Limb Rehabilitation in Stroke

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Biomedical and Engineering approaches form a key element to neurological rehabilitation of upper limbs. Brain Computer Interface (BCI) using Motor execution and Motor Imagery are known to aid motor recovery in stroke. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Noninvasive Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) based EEG based BCI using motor execution and Motor Imagery tasks can aid in rehabilitation of upper limb movements in chronic stroke.

The project aims to explore an SMR-based BCI system that can exploit the sensorimotor rhythm voluntary modulation to play a virtual game as neurofeedback using motor executory tasks and imagined hand movements by stroke patients, who suffer from upper limb disability.

Clinical Trial Description

Brain Computer Interface (BCI) using Motor execution and Motor Imagery are known to aid motor recovery in stroke. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that Noninvasive Sensorimotor Rhythm (SMR) based EEG based BCI using motor execution and Motor Imagery tasks can aid in rehabilitation of upper limb movements in chronic stroke.

The project aims to explore an SMR-based BCI system that can exploit the sensorimotor rhythm voluntary modulation to play a virtual game as neurofeedback using motor executory tasks and imagined hand movements by stroke patients, who suffer from upper limb disability. Studies have shown that movement and motor imagery (MI) (i.e., the mental rehearsal of a movement without any activation of the muscles) induce similar EEG patterns over the motor cortex.

Movement execution, preparation and even observation are usually accompanied by a decrease in µ- and β-rhythm in the cortical area representing the involved body segment. Such a reduction is called event-related desynchronization (ERD).The increase in µ-rhythm, i.e. event-related synchronization (ERS), is observed in the regions of the brain representing body segments, which are not involved in the task.This study is a pilot study to examine the feasibility of a SMR based EEG BCI using motor task and motor imagery and involve a gaming feedback for same.

The first two days will be used for calibrating the BMI using commands in computer screen followed by further two days for testing the BMI and feedback control during gaming in computer to move the ball in the computer screen. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
